Steyn to North, OUT, that's an AB special! North flashes at a full and wide delivery and the ball flies off the outside edge and nearly beats the slips but de Villiers nonchalantly sticks his left hand out and plucks it, he makes it look so easy sometimes, I've seen him take a similar catch while keeping for SA

Pradeep: "I'm from Sri Lanka and quite excited at the prospect of seeing Hughes perform in the sub-continent. This surely must be the best thing ever to happen from a cricketing perspective.I'm not sure how many kids can come up with such a superlative performance given the fact you are up against a very formidable bowling attack.This fella is special and the world is just about to see many wonderful feats from this wunder kid."
